Tixati - BitTorrent client

Submit portable freeware that you find here. It helps if you include information like description, extraction instruction, Unicode support, whether it writes to the registry, and so on.

How frequently does it appear?
Not very frequently- once a month or so. To be more precise I will count from today on.

Really? I see my embedded screen-shot just right. Does this problem persist? Have you tried a different browser? Can you provide a screen-shot of how you see my embedded image? This is strange.

Tixati - stealth?

#19 Post by zorro »

Tixati is not stealth - it registers Magnet-Links, Torrents and something like "dsc" in the Registry. Not a big deal-breaker, but not completely stealth.

I disagree- I use Tixati as a secondary torrent client and it has registered nothing to registry:

Tixati registers torrent, magnet and dsc links only if the user chooses so.

More- there is an option "Revert association on exit in portable mode" which can be checked if one has registered associations with Tixati.

So I consider Tixati portable and stealth.

@billon
If you are reading this post, please check it yourself and if you confirm what I wrote above, please revert Tixati database entry back to "Stealth".

Re: Tixati - donation nag

I spotted the donation nag for the first time on 2016.09.17.
On 2016.11.10 (yesterday) I saw the same donation nag again.

Think it's nagging once every ~2 months or perhaps based on usage?

I cannot be certain, I can only say that between these two nags Tixati had been running almost all the time.

The reminder popped up on 2016.12.29 again. So roughly this nag appears in 45-60 days.

Good to know. It does make me wonder: if something only bugs me once every 1-2 months with an ad or a nag, is it still nagware/adware?

For me Tixati is nagware but it is tolerable.

I also had this reminder, however only once - it's not really "naggy". Regarding the (portable) alternatives, Tixati in my opinion is by far the best torrent-client.

It's not stealth though - registers torrent- and magnet-links and "dsc" (?).
In my launcher you can see the entries it creates:

Code: Select all

@echo off
start /wait "" "tixati_Windows64bit.exe"
REG DELETE "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.torrent" /f
REG DELETE "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\dsc" /f
REG DELETE "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\magnet" /f
REG DELETE "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\tixati.torrent" /f
REG DELETE "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\.torrent" /f
REG DELETE "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\dsc" /f
REG DELETE "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\magnet" /f
REG DELETE "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\tixati.torrent" /f
exit

Once a month or over is not a nag in my book, only a reminder (compare with the missus for scale... ;)).
